Dan Biderman(@dan_biderman):From Eric Kandel's Nobel Lecture (2000): "Learning is the process by which we acquire new knowledge about the world, and memory is the process by which we retain that knowledge over time. For me, learning and memory have proven to be endlessly fascinating mental processes because they address one of the most remarkable aspects of human behavior: our ability to acquire new ideas from experience. Most of the ideas we have about the world and our civilizations we have learned. So that in good measure, we are who we are because of what we have learned and what we remember"
